Look out for signs with a blue “P”, indicating parking spaces. Never leave any valuables or luggage alone in your car.

Filling up your car with fuel

Petrol stations at larger supermarkets offer good value. Motorway service areas and rural or isolated regions are generally more expensive. Most petrol stations in Britain are self-service and the instructions at the pumps are easy to follow; you pay at the counter in the shop. Driving

Driving around Britain is a great way to see the diverse landscapes, cities and towns. The country has an extensive network of toll-free motorways and trunk roads, which make travelling around the country straightforward.

To drive in Britain you need a current driving licence with an international driving permit if required. You must also keep proof of ownership or a rental agreement in your vehicle, plus any insurance documents.

Remember to drive on the left! Distances on road signs are measured in miles. Intercity roads are busier between 8-9.30am and 5-7pm when people are travelling to/from work/schools on weekdays.

Most hire cars will include GPS but keep a good map handy. If you want to explore more rural areas it’s worth picking up a map from the Ordnance Survey series – they’re comprehensive and will guide even the most specific of trips.

Motorways are marked with blue signs and an “M” followed by their identifying number. “A” roads, sometimes dual carriageways (that is, with 2 lanes in each direction), are main routes marked with green road signs, while “B” roads are secondary roads. The latter are often less congested and views will almost certainly be prettier! Rural areas are crisscrossed by a web of tiny, often pretty, lanes.

Signs are mostly standardised in-line with the rest of Europe. Directional signs are colour-coded: blue for motorways, green for major routes and white for minor routes. Brown signs indicate places of interest. Advisory or warning signs are usually triangles in red and white, with easy-to-understand pictograms. Watch for electronic notices on motorways that warn of roadworks, speed restrictions, accidents or patches of fog.

Level crossings, found at railway lines, often have automatic barriers. If the lights are flashing red, it means a train is coming and you must stop.

The UK Highway Code, available online at the Department of Transport website, is an up-to-date guide to all the current British driving regulations and traffic signs. DIETARY REQUIREMENTS
